A CHASTITY Grew.

The schooner Willie MCGOWAN, from
Banquero, arrived at Shelburne, N. S.,
on the 18th. The previous day she
spoke the schooner George Harold, of
Lockport, which reported having spoken
another schooner, the crew Of which
had boarded a fishing vessel, adrift, some
days previously, and found the bodies
of several men floating in the cabin.
The bodies were in decomposed state.
The remainder of the crew had evident
ly abandoned the craft some time before
or else had been lost. The flesh on the
head of one Of the drowned men had
been eaten nearly all away and all the
bodies presented a horrible sight. The
schooner is believed to be the Ocean
Bride, Of Boston.

National Bank.

National Bank.
JAMESTOWN, n. Y, Sept. 17.-Great
excitement exists in the neighbo' ing
town of Cory, Pa, over the failure of
the First National Bank of that place.
The affairs of the institution are
Examiner Young. The depositors
were largely working people. It is said
that the bank, which carried a capital
stock of nearly 100000, has never re-
covered from losses some years ago,
through the operations of its president,
Adam Davis, and other officials. Robert
n. Marvin, the president of the de-
funct bank, is we'll known resident of
this city. He is the son of Judge Rich
ard ?. Marvin, and at one time was a
Republican candidate for secretary of
state. Mr. Marvin has been a large
stakeholder in the Cory bank for many
years, and for the past few years has
been president of the bank President
Marvin made the following statement:
1.-THE bank has had an eventful career;
it has been doing business for the
past twenty-five or three years, and
at one time was the most pros
porous banking institution in this section;
Some years ago the president of the
bank, Adam Davis, through his dabbling
Ill OH duu OLueT Sp0cUlaC1OuS, endangered
the bank, and there have been other
matters of like nature that have
caused detriment toward the success
Of the institution. We we're prepared,
however, to take care of these matters,
and had completed all arrangements to
look after the depositors who might
have been injured by Davis specula-
tons. The failure of the bank cannot
be attributed to the past Irregularities
of Davis and others, but to more re-
cent difficulty that has come upon us
very suddenly. This is the real cause Of
the suspension"
Has there been defalcaGon ?" was
asked.
"Wen, not exactly" replied Mr.. Mar
vim, seeking to avoid the directquestion.
1T did not know word of this trouble
until three days ago, and it was great
surprise to me. | am in hopes the de-
positors will be paid in full. Our cap
ital stock was 100000. I can not tell
whether the bank will open again or
not. It depends entirely on the results
of Examiner Young's examination of
the books of the institution. I must be
excused from giving you any more in
formation tonight"

INSURANCE men looking into the
case of William Whitley, the London
merchant, whose great stores recently
burned, entailing losses of about So
OOO,OOO-the largest fire loss ever
sustained by any individual-con-
denim the inferiority of the London
fremen. They were very slow in get
tingto the fire, very inefficient at the be-
ginning, and did not really get down to
good work until the fire was an hour

them twelve hours to control the fire.
Such bad work in an American city,
with it's dry atmosphere would
have resulted in confagration

Crushed to Death.

At New Orleans, La, on the evening
OF the 18th, three large sheds at the cor
ner of Howard Avenue and Euphrosine
Street fell, burying number of people,
killing two outright and seriously in
iuring others. The sheds, which were
erected for the protection of lumber,
had been recently purchased by the H.
linois Central Railroad, which granted
borhood to carry off the old lumber. A
large crowd was SO engaged when
the sheds fell over, burying most of the
people in the ruins. The first man taken
out, John Poland, was found suffering
with fracture of the leg and injured in
ternally. John Tucker, steward of a
river boat, was dead, with a broken
neck. Peter Behrman, a newsboy, was
found to be killed. John Baker was

Important Suggestions Made by Gen.
Black in His Annual Report.
Gen. John G. Black, commissioner of
pensions, in his annual report to the
secretary of the interior makes the fol-
lowing important suggestions:
81. The allowance of So per month to
minor children entitled to pension is in
adequate for their support and should
be increased to IS per month.
2. That the act of June Is, 1880, be
so amended as to permit the benefits of
the act to be extended to those who sub
sequent to the date of its approval from
aggrayation of their malady may have
become helpless.
80 That the existing law that wild
owls pension certificate can only bear
date from the day on which she files
her application, should be amended to
allow the commencement of the pension
to date from the death of her husband,
the other conditions required by the
law being present.

ANOTHkR RA4LWAY HORROR
An Express Train Crashes Into a Train
Crowded With Excursionists.

An Express IRAN Crashes Into a Train
Crowded With Excursionists.
A dreadful collision occurred on the
10Th on the Midland railroad, England.
A train filed with excursionists going
to Doncaster to witness the races, col
lided with another train and was
wrecked. The Midland train was stand
ing on the crossing one mile from Don
caster, while tickets were being
collected. when the Liverpool
express dashed into it. The guard box
was smashed into atoms. The first car
riage of the Liverpool train was tele-
scoped by the next, and broken to
splinters. 1t was a long time before the
injured and dying, who were wedged in
the ruins, could be rescued. Twenty
four persons were killed and many of
the injured cannot recover. The d1sas-
ter was caused by defective signaling.
The Midland train was crowded with
excursionists, who suddenly noticed a
platelayer wildly waving red flag. On
looking out they were Mortified to see
the express coming at full speed. 1t cut
through the excursion train, but kept
ing no damage. The scene was
horrible. Scores of people lay bleed
ing or dead, wedged amid the
splintered woodwork and debris, and it
was impossible to release them till me-
chanical appliances arrived. Many
were taken out shockingly mangled. A
mother with baby in her arms was
killed, while the child escaped unhurt
In another instance a mother and child
were killed. Some Of the passengers
were beheaded and others disembowled.
A curve in the line hid the express till
it was within short distance Of the ex-
cursion train. The driver, named Tay
lor, a sober, industrious man, who has
been on the road sixteen years, has not
explained how he ran past the danger
signals. In consequence of the
races and the pressure of
traffic the ordinary block system
was suspended and traffic was worked
by hand signal and flags. 1t is rumored
that the brakes were applied but failed
to act The majority ofthe victims were
residents of Sheffield and Hexthorne.
The latest reports place the number of
dead at tWenty-three and the injured at
sixty.

delegate from Geneva, in proposing a

that France had no thoughts of an

France had no longings for what does
not belong to her, but that she would
certainly make all efforts to regain her
lost property. This, in connection with
